Wales’ number one water-cooler company, family-run Princes Gate Cool Water, recently branched out into coffee machines and has now launched Cariad Coffee, it’s own coffee proposition to accompany the machines it distributes.

Glyn Jones, managing director, commented on his rationale for the launch of this new Pembrokeshire brand: “We launched our coffee machine business some time ago for largely logistic reasons - we were heading into offices, businesses and venues throughout Wales, most of which had a need for coffee machines in addition to water units,” he said.

“So it made sense to be in a position to offer both. We all, however, very quickly became as passionate for coffee as we are for water!

“We became disenfranchised with the consistency of the quality for the coffee beans we were sourcing and set about creating our own unique triple certified blend (organic, Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade) – one which we would be proud to service our customers with.”

And so Cariad Coffee came into being

With their own organic farming roots, proprietors and brothers, Glyn and David Jones, have taken great care in sourcing coffee from organic-accredited and environmentally-friendly sources, ensuring that fellow organic farmers are paid a fair price for their produce.

The Cariad Coffee range was launched with a new master-blend coffee, a medium-roast blend of the finest Arabica beans from Central America, Ethiopia and Sumatra.

With smooth chocolate tones and a sweet caramel syrupy mouth-feel, the blend is complimented by a light citrus acidity, plum and a long, smooth finish.

Plans are in place for a product range extension, widening the sustainable platform for the brand.
